University student currently facing severe financial struggles and trying to get back on my feet

Hey everyone, I hope all is well.

I'm a university student and I’m reaching out to ask for help during a difficult time. Over the past few years, I’ve lost three family members, which took a serious toll on my mental health. While grieving and trying to keep up with my studies, my home life became increasingly challenging. As the oldest sibling, I’ve been responsible for managing the household and acting as a primary caretaker for my younger siblings while my mom works, all while struggling to stay on track in school. Due to this, I chose to take a semester off.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been applying for jobs—open to overnight shifts, holidays, and anything available—but I haven’t had any luck. My account is now in overdraft, and I’m behind on $200 monthly rent at home (living with my mother) and managing student loans, food, and transportation costs. Trust me, I know $200 is far less than typical rent, and I’m grateful to have a roof over my head. However, I’ve explained to my mother countless times that I barely have enough to commute to school. At one point, I even had to stop attending classes because I couldn’t afford the transportation costs. I’ve pleaded with my mom to give me time to finish school or find stable work, but my concerns have been dismissed. I’m genuinely afraid of ending up homeless. OSAP has already started withdrawing money for my student loans while I’m still petitioning to fix my academic standing so I can graduate. My goal is to complete my degree and pursue a career in healthcare, but without immediate support, it feels impossible to keep moving forward. How funds will be used: I’m hoping to raise enough funds to cover this month’s rent, overdue bills, and essentials like transportation. This will allow me to focus on rebuilding my life and education. Any support, no matter how small, would mean the world to me during this time. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and for any help you can provide.

There's proof included in the link: (account balance, bank statements, and a few emails of job applications).

I’ve decided to post all of the progress here as well, not just on instagram. Some people have asked to be tagged once I post some progress, but I can’t remember who they were. So if you wanna see future progress, let me know and I’ll tag you!

This one may not look too different from the previous one, but nothing really turned out the way I intended to.

The colors, the textures, the focus, the sounds, the camera, everything just seems so off, and oh boy the animation… this is the result of rushing and not knowing what I’m doing, just inserting keyframes, tweaking the graph editor and hoping for the best. So maybe signing up for this project wasn’t a great idea after all lol. Plus the datapad’s not even fully textured, you can literally see where I started adding details on the front, then for some reason I just left off lol

One thing I’ll definitely work on in the future is the menu itself, because if this project is for a graphic design thesis, then I might as well try to make the only thing that has something to do with it look more presentable. I’ll definitely be changing up the fonts, and I have some other ideas for the background as well.

But for now, I’ll move on to the remaining 5 character menu animations. Originally there were gonna be 5, not 7. At first I was randomly picking out the characters I wanted to make one for, then I realized, it’d probably be best, if each squad got one animation. The 501st gets Rex, the 212th gets Cody, the CG gets Fox, the 104th gets Wolffe, and the 241st gets Tukk. CF99 got Hunter but I really wanted to make one for Tech as well, since modeling and texturing him took the longest 💀

Once all of that’s done, I can finally move on to animating the trailer video. Which I’m terrified of, but oh well lol
